Too Low…Too High

Not Taxes+Its Spending

I do not understand people who feel that it is not so bad for the government to spend money that we do not have against our growing deficit. I have debated with a family member over the need to cut spending over raising taxes on the rich. The family member is all for increased taxing of wealthy folks. The belief is that they do not pay their fair share. The family member did not like me saying that the rich pay more of the taxes in this country. Besides, making them pay more taxes is not going to solve our revenue problem.

Fiction and Fact

This says it all, but I know folks who continue to see this fiction as truth. Well, to my surprise there is one person within my family circle who voted for the Pres. and now believes the facts stated below. But at this time, this family member still has a ‘are you kidding?’ reaction  to voting for a Republican for president.

It’s Mitt

Mitt Romney won the Texas Primary giving him the necessary delegates to clinch the GOP nomination. Ron Paul who is a Texas Congressional Representative received a real good put down. What I find interesting is when it was certain about the Romney victory, there were hardly if any post of the victory headline from my 3700 conservative and libertarian Facebook friends (the other 1000 are liberal/leftist Democrats, which includes a few trolls trying to pass as conservatives). I know the Romney victory is not good news for many conservatives.

Yes, Mitt Romney is conservative light, but I disagree with those who feel he is another Barack Obama. I just do not think a Romney administration would resemble what has gone down on the economy under Pres. Obama.  Really, do you think he would have economic advisers and supporters trying to tell us that continued spending of money which is really not there is the best way to get out of the current economic mess while the national debt continues to soar?

Pres. Obama just gave the National Medal of Freedom to the honorary chair of the Democratic Socialist of America. Well, what does that indicate to you? The indication to me is that the Pres. will be pushing more socialism if he gets a 2nd term. I do not see Mitt Romney doing that.

Okay all of you on the conservative side that do not like Mitt Romney, work at getting past your issues with him. Please do not sit at home or vote for some 3rd party candidate that will not even get 15 million votes this Nov 6th and allow Barack Obama to do his non capitalist thing for another 4 years.

It is Still Bush’s Fault

I continue to hear from those in my neck of the woods, online and from liberal commenters on the radio how Pres. Obama came into a big mess left by George W. Bush. Again and Again, it is Bush’s fault. The state of the economy under Pres. Obama is still Bush’s fault. On the chart below, take a good look at what Pres. Obama inherited and what we have now due to what has gone down during the Obama Administration.

Yes liberals lie, but lying can be found among conservatives too! Now on this issue of the state of the economy when Pres. Obama took office as oppose to the current state of the economy under his watch, some liberals are lying, while other liberals are believing those lies.

A Yes and a Huge No

Disagree with me. Be upset with me. But I give credit to Pres. Obama in the killing of Osama Bin Laden. There are so many people who will not do so. The bottom line for me is that it happened under his watch. If things had gone wrong and Bin Laden remained alive while our Navy Seals were captured and/or killed, Pres. Obama would be blamed and we would be saying, “Well it happened under his watch!” It is only the Bin Laden capture so far that the Obama administration receives any credit from me.

I hold Pres. Obama accountable for the economy which has worsened under his watch. The national debt continues to soar under the Obama Presidency. It is now higher than all 8 years under George W. Bush. Many Obama supporters continue to blame Bush and ignore what has come down under the Obama administration. From reading Obama-ite comments on various web-based liberal venues and hearing them have their say on right-wing and urban talk radio, I see they blame Republicans for everything before and since Barack Obama became President. They appear to have memory loss on having the Pres. along with a Democratic House majority and a Democratic filibuster-proof majority in the Senate for most of the first 2 years.

Yes Pres. Obama did get Osama Bin Laden, but under the Obama administration, the economy continues to go south while there is no plan to stop or even slow the national debt. I applauded the Bin Laden victory, but it is still a huge ‘NO’ for Pres. Obama. Osama Bin Laden is hardly enough against the state of the economy to get me to even think about voting for Barack Obama in November.
